JOHN DEERe does not advise changing trans fluid on the lx176 for two (2) reasons.
(1) The possibility of contaminants getting in the resevoir.
(2) The system has to be burped(bleeded) like you would car brakes. If you are unfimiliar
with this process, you could be left with an immovable tractor or a substantial cost
from a dealer to correct the problem.
You are better off just topping off with wd10x30 motor oil.
The John Deere LX176 lawn tractor typically requires about 4 quarts of transmission fluid. It's important to use the recommended type of fluid, which is usually a low-viscosity hydraulic fluid. Always check the owner's manual for specific guidelines and to ensure proper maintenance.
Use any Automatic transmission fluid type F, or use John Deere low viscosity hydraulic fluid
Low Viscosity Hy-Gard is what John Deere recommends and sells for this application. It is a all weatherhydro-staticfluid that meets the JDM J21A requirements.

It means you have low oil pressure. Can be low of oil, or the oil pump has failed. do not run this engine until you find the problem.
Oil recommended by John Deere is Turf-Gard, Torq-Gard Supreme, Torq-Gard Supreme Plus 50, Plus 4 (1.69 quarts) all sold by John Deere. weight of oil depends on your temperature range of operation. generally SAE 10w-30 will work just fine. the Hydraulic Oil to use is SAE 10W-30. if you do not have a John Deere store close to buy the Oil = generally any good name brand gasoline engine oil will work.
It depends on the shape of the equipment. I bought an LX176 ig great shape from my neighbor last Oct. for $700. Was it worth that? It was to me, I love it.
